Revenge is the most general of these words and covers the whole range of actions from wanting to beat sb at a game after they have first beaten you, to killing sb because they have killed sb you love. It is often quite a personal, individual act that you do in response to sth that has been done to you personally. Retaliation and reprisals are often taken by a group such as a military force, against another group, who may not be the actual people responsible for the first crime, but are taken to represent them. * revenge在本組詞中含義最寬泛，涵蓋所有報複行爲，從想在比賽中戰勝曾擊敗自己的對手，到因某人殺害自己所愛之人而將其殺死。它往往是單一的個人行爲，針對自己親身遭遇的事。retaliation和reprisal往往是由一群人，如一支軍隊，實施的報複。被報複的是另一群人，他們可能並非此前罪行的負責人，但被當作負責人的代表◆They fear retaliation against US troops and aid workers (= for example, because of sth that the US government has done).他們擔心美軍和援助人員會遭遇報複。 Vengeance is the most extreme and violent of these actions: it is often personal and can be much more extreme and violent than the original crime to which it is a response. * vengeance是這些行動中最極端和暴力的，常常是個人行動，可能要比所要報複的行爲極端和暴力得多。
